Mr. BROWN, in addressing the shareholders, bore his testimony also to the advantages which the company would have in acquiring 1,500 acres of the best part of the South 'Wales coal fields, and said that the quality of this coal for iron making and other purposes was not to be surpassed in the district ; to this fact he could bear his personal testi mony as one well acquainted with the district.

Mr. BAILEY, M.P., se-entered the room after the resolu tions had been unanimously adopted—and addressing the sh areholders, said that he entered into the undertaking with t he understanding that it was to be honestly managed, and he assured the meeting that so long as he was chairman of t hat company, his constant attenlion would be g iven to i ts interests. At present they were raising 200 tons per l ay, and he hoped ere long the quantity would be 300 tons Per diem. The meeting concluded with the usual vote of thanks to t he chairman.

Mr. Margeson. Elizabeth Prestige, servant at No. 3, Green's-race, Chel sea, said that on the 31st of March she was cleaning the street door-steps, at a little after 9 in the morning, when she saw the prisoner, and two other men. She observed them go to several houses, and two of them came to her. One of them was the prisoner, who enquired whether she had any broken glass to mend, and replied that she had not. 'At that moment another of the three men, named Gellinge t called the prisoner, who, with his other companion, then went away with him. _ The police informed the magistrate that Gellongs, a noto rious thief, was already in custody, and remanded on this charge. Prisoner put several questions to the witness, who swore most positively that he was the man, which it seemed at last by the form of the questions the prisoner himself did not deny. Emma French said she was housemaid to the Rev. Mr. Margeson, and a basket of plate value S2O was stolen from her master's house, between 9 and 10 on the morning of the 31st. She had brought it down two hours previously, and placed it in a cupboard in the front kitchen, the door of which was lett unlocked. Access could be obtained to the ►itchen from the area. The police said that tho prison9r was well known to them as one of the most export thieves in London in robberies of this class. Further evidence could be produced against him. Ho was remanded.

SITOP ROBBERY,—Catherine Collins, address refused, was charged with stealing from the shop of Mr. Henry William Birch, hosier, 23, Old Compton-street, 60 scarfs of the value of £l. Charles White, assistant to Mr. Birch, said that about 6 o'clock the previous evening the prisoner entered the shop and asked to see some scarfs. He showed the prisoner two boxes, but none of the scarfs in them would suit her, and she then asked to see one from the window. Having a suspicion of the prisoner, while at the window he turned round and saw her putting something under her apron. lie then walked round the counter and told the prisoner that she had something under her apron. At first she said that she had not, but directly after pulled the scarfs out and threw them on the floor—there being 50 of them, of the value of £l. The prisoner then asked to be forgiven, but on Mr. Birch sending for a constable the became very vio lent, and tried to bite Mr. Birch's hand. She was then given into custody. Donelly, G2B, proved being called to Mr. Birch's, and raid that on taking the prisoner into custody she denied stealing the scarfs, aid said the assistant had dropped them. She refused her address, and oz being searched only is 7d was found in her possession. AIL Knox remanded the prisoner, CRUELTY TO A HOB.Sl3.—Thomas Wicks, in tho employ of Mr. Matheson, 11, Ratllbone-placo, furniture dealer, was charged at the instance of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Ani mals, with cruelty to a horse, by using it while in an unfit state. From the evidence of George Cloyce, one of the society's officers, it appeared that ho was on duty in Poland-street, when he observed the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart. The horse appeared to be paralysed, lame in its fore legs, and could scarcely got along, the lock tendons of both legs being contracted, and the poor animal altogether in a state of debility. While talking to the defendant the owner came up and expressed his wish to have the horse destroyed at once. The owner was then in attendance. Defendant said he had driven the horse for 14 or 15 years, but had never noticed it going lame before. The owner said it was his wish to have the horso de stroyed at once. Mr. Knox ordered the trirso to be destroyed at once, and the defendant left the court with Cloyco for that purpose, and reported that the poor animal had been put out of its misery. WESTMINSTER. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY z THE LONDON Dom.—Thomas Crompton and John Bayn, dock labourers, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 7lbs. of coffee. George Ellis, a constable in the London Docks, said that yesterday afternoon he saw Crompton going towards the gate, and about to leave the dock. The prisoner was look ing bulky. He stopped him, and found upon him 2lbs. of the best raw coffee. It was concealed is a very ingenious manner, in the leg of a pair trousers under the prisoner's outer trousers, and tied up above and below, so a•t to make up a kind of bag. The coffee was quite clean. The prisoner said be had been at work on board ship, and obtained the coffee at No. 10 warehouse. Francis Andus, a dock constable, said Baynton followed the other prisoner, and he stopped him and searched him, and found in two legs of trousers under his outer trousers, 411 , 5. of raw coffee, and in his cap 11b. more. Baynton said he had been at work on board a vettel called the Elizabeth and Ann. Both prisoners had been in the employ of the company several years. The prisoners said they had no defence to make. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoners to be each impri soned for two months, and kept to hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. DIARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to day was but moderate.

William Charles llowell, M.A., to be Chaplain to the British residents at Havre. Mr. Howell was for many years curate of tho parish churen of Tottenham, Middlesex, and recently curate in sole charge of the parish of St. George-in-the-Dist, Military Ends and Moral Means. By Colonel J. J. Graham, author of " The Art of War." One Vol. Pp. 464. Smith, Elder, and Co. Colonel Graham has a true appreciation of the real dignity of calling. He is animated by a genuine esprit•de-corps, and would fain have every soldier, from the highest to the lowest, regarded with respect by the rest of the community; and, above all, he would have every soldier regard his chosen profession with feelings of reverence and affection. Especially does the Colonel quarrel with the " theory of enlistment" as put forth by many of those who have, given their evidence before the Recruiting Commission, and who impute the young recruit's enlistment to the lowest motives. The pros and eons of both sides of the question ere very considcrt d by the Colonel, who sums !'3 his evidence with the declaration that " the pro fession of a soldier is a noble one, at d, as a rule, it is desirable that every man should get credit for entering it from noble and worthy motives, and his ciscipline should be regulated accordingly until a change of system is called for by Lis own misconduct." "Ae the vigour and beauty of the tree in the natural world depend on the soundness of the roots, so the efficiency and morale of an army correspond with the ietrinsio moral and physical standard of the individual members composing its ranks." The Colonel's very praiseivorthy object in publishing this most excellent and interesting volume is to direct the practical attention of all who have the Soldier's interest at heart to the importance of that moral element by which he, as well as every other thinking being, is so much influenced. The soldier is not to be regarded as a machine but as a man, in proof of which in how many instances have not battles been won by moral influence when, esti mated by the laws of physical force, they wire hopeless! Such instances abound in the various historical references with which the work is illus• trated. Under the heading, " Mural Influence," the wonderful power exercised by some commanders is particularly dwelt upon. Sir Walter Scott, in writing on the influence of the Ch: of over his Soldiers, exclaims — "They love a captain to obey, Boisterous as March and frank as May, Ever the first to scale a tower, As venturous in a lady's bower, Such valiant chief shall lead his host From India's fire to Zembla's frost." This volume, so honourable to its author and his profession, is very appropriately dedicated (with special permission) to the Dake of Cambridge, Commanding•in•Chief, who has in so many in stances evidenced his personal anxiety to uphold the dignity and ameliorate the condition of the Sol dier. Colonel Graham hes evidently bestowed much time and labour upon his task, which has to him been a labour of love. He has collected evidence and information from very nume rous and most various sources in reference to pen and present times and to the military arrangements of our own and other countries. His work will well I repay a careful perusal, and is admirably calculated to aid the cause which is so dear to his soldier-heart. The Stream of Life on our Globe. By J. L. Milton, M.R.C.S. One Vol. pp. 614. Hard wicke. At first sight the reader is disptlsed to regard with dismay a work which professes to propound to him " the archives, traditions, and laws of the stream of life on our Globe, as revealed by modern discoveries in geology, and palrentology," &a., but on a closer investigation we find that Mr. Milton has arranged his very imposing materials with such a careful and happy discrimination that tho result of Ws labours affords us a very interesting m itter of contemplation. Be ginning almost before the beginning, with the amazing revelations of Geology we find now cause (as may readily be found every day) to mar vel over " the things of heaven and earth that are undreamt of in our philosophy." Here for example is a startling picture of ENGLAND IN EARLY DAYS. The mind finds it difficult to realize the idea that a coun try so well tilled and drained as England, and subjected to the plough as far back as authentic history goes, was once a steaming morass covered with the rank tropical vegeta tion of the tree-fern groves, its awful silence broken only by the hum of the ahardy bootie, the rush of the hideous flying lizards through lofty woods of ferns and reeds, or th^ tramp of the giant iguanodons over the plashy wolds. Imagina tion left to itself could scarcely have indulged in so wild a flight as to picture an era when palm-trees waved in Kent and Hampshire, and the plains of Cumnor were the coral reefs of some primeval lagoon ; when the tiger and hyena lurked in the thickets of Kirkdale and the trumpeting of the groat northern elephant was heard on the moors of Yorkshire and the downs of Brighton ; when the nautilus spread its sail to the breeze or plied its busy oars in the waters of the Effra; while the bison fed on Cromer plains, and the sullen river-horse and:rhinoceros browsed by the Thames and the Avbn, or lay down to die by the Ouse and the Aire. Yet all these things were. The hammer of the geologist has conjured up many a picture of the farthest eld far more weird and wondrous than over was fabled, and though of times far beyond the ken of history, yet supported on proofs for which we vainly hunt in tradition. The historian only seeks to trace back the annals of our island to the days when it was first peopled by painted savages, living in wig• wants like the red Indian or beaver, and hunting with the rude bow and flint-headed arrow; the geologist recalls the times when it was the home of the dragon, tho turtle, and the iguanodon. From the revelations of Geology wo pass on to the eonsideration of the Races of Man, and on this sub ject Mr. Milton affirms that a mixed race can never endure, that in process of time the original stock predominates. In a kindred spirit Mr. Disraeli, when eloquently dilating upon the greatness of the Ciucasian race, remarked that "other inferior races fall by that law of Nature which is fetal to ours." Mr. Milton declares that "the Englishman is not the Saxon, he lived here ages before the Saxon was known." Very interest kg is the concluding por tion of this book where the individual man becomes the subject of our study. In the chapter on men of genius, the writer distinctly contradicts the theory that "Groat wit to madness nearly is allied." On the contrary, he affirms that it is " weak-minded people who generally go mad." With regard to ' men of genius, he observes, " the temple of the soul may be a little strained and wrung, but it is made of first rate material. The partition between wit and craziness may be thin, but it is as strong for all practical purposes as sevenfold brass." Physical as well us intellectual giants also comes under our acrutiny,'and we read among other curious anecdotes, a record of Mr. Bright of Malden, a greater man than Daniel Lambert himself, for, in the said Mr. 13riglit'a waistcoat, five men of ordinary size were buttoned without straining a stitch 1 Appalling although the title-page unquestionably is Mr. Milton's beol: is full of interest and anecdote. It is also full of in formation on themes more important than the giants above-mentioned. Garibaldi and Italian Unity: By Lieut.-Colonel Chambers. One Vol., pp. 328. Smith, Elder, and Co. . . Garibaldi br ing a subject of peculiar interest at the present moment, Colonel Chambers' work is certainly well timed. Believing, "from informa tion obtained during a residence in Italy, that there was much unknown respecting General Garibaldi, particularly with regard to the part he took in the transactions that led to the disastrous affair of As prornonte," the writer of this volume has endeav oured to give an account of Gdribaldi's doings be tween the spring of 1859 and the close of 1863. "No previous history comes down later than the early part of the year 1861." Some portion of the contents of this volume have already appeared in the public press, but they are bete accompanied by other anecdotes and rumours, with which Colonel Chambers has become acquainted in hie repeated travels on the Contir sat. Corpulence : its Diminution and Cure. The first edition of Dr. Harvey's pamphlet having sold very rapidly, the learned author has been in duced to publish a second and revised issue to meet the great demand that at present exists for the work. The Doctor enters thoroughly into the subject, and, after reciting the causes of corpulence, says, " Women, unfortunately, aro more subject to it than men, and they especially should take Care to guard against embonpoint ; for it is not an un- I common occurrence to see the handsome, elegant The Achilles got up steam at an early hour yesterday morning, and by 9 o'clock the whole of the officials under whose supervision the trials were to ho made were on board, including Vico-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8., Captain W. K. Hall, C. 8., of the Cumberland, 70, guardehip of the Steam Reserve : Mr T. Baker, chief engineer at Chatham dockyard; Mr W. Rumble, principal inspector of machi nery afloat; Mr Thornton, and Mr Moore, principal master shipwrights at Chatham, under whose sup( rintendence the Achille. has been built; Captain John Lord Hay, C. 13., who is to command the Achilles, and other officers. Tho frigate was navigated from the Folly Point to the Nero by Mr W. Blakey, second master, and Queen's pilot at Chat ham,)and was afterwards handed over to Mr Hilyard , master, of the Cumberland, 70, who had charge of the ves sel during her trial of speed. The engines were in charge of Mr Wigzell, from the establishment of Messrs Penn and Sons, Greenwich, the manufacturers. Just before the frigate started Admiral Drummond, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and Admiral Famthawe came on board. After •ome slight delay in weighing the anchor by the auxiliary 40 horse power engine, it was at length stowed away in its place, and the vessel's head was laid for the trial ground. At this time the Achilles was drawing 22ft 7in forward and 231 t 9in aft, with her screw immersed 41t. The total dis placement of the frigate was calculated to be 9,500 tons, When fairly under way the height of the lower portion of her gun ports from the water was found to be 12ft amidships. The wind at this time was blowing moderately from the eastward, with a force of 3, and everything was favourable for the trial. The quantity of coals on board was 130 tons; cables and other stores, 50 tons ; water, crew, &c., 400 tons. By 12 n.m. the Maplin Sands were reached, and the Achilles was at once plre•,d on the mile for the purpose of going through the most. important portion of her day's duty. At this time the boilers were emitting an abundance of steam, the vessel was in excellent trim, the water smooth, and everything in the ship's fe.vour. Six runs were first made at full speed, with the following results : Speed Revolutions Pressure Run. Time, knots. of engines. of steam. Vacuum. 1 4m 45s 12.632 46 26 23 2 3m 42a 16.216 46 25 25 3 4m 51s 12•37 l 464 2(4 251 4 3m 40a 16.363 47 26 25 5 4m 591 12.456 47 26 25 6 3m 43s 16.143 46} 28 25 The first means of the above figures gives the average speed as 14.424. 14.293, 14.367, 14.409, and 14.299 knots ; and the second moans 14358, 14.330, 14385, and 14354 knots, the mean of means or true speed of the ship, being 14.357 knots, or upwards of 16 statute miles per hour. Taking those figuros, it will be seen that the Admirai:y have every reason to be proud of the first of the iron ships built at either of the dockyards, as sho has proved herself to be the fastest of our ironclads now afloat. The above figures, however, only show what speed the Achilles has attained at her light draught, but form a very fair criterion of what she will do at her deep-soa draught, when it may bo safely affirmed that she will still further surpass every other vessel dint in her steaming qualities. At the trial yesterday two causes operated to prevent a greater speed being attained—namely, the fact that the blades of Ler mew were upwards of a font out of,tho water, and ales that the bottom of the frigate was foul from the length of time sho has been Ding in the Medway. When thelattor cause has boon removed, and the screw immersed to the required depth with the vessel at her deep-sea draught, thertiis little doubt that the Achilles will attain a speed of 16 knots per hour, in which case she will be the fastest vessel belonging to the Royal Navy. During Idle tt ial yesterday at full power the frigate carried a rather for midable wave under horbow, but from her form of construc tion this was thrown off, and offered no impediment to the ship's progress through the water. The water thrown up in her wake was very considerable, owing to the circumstance of the screw not being sufficiently immersed. At the close of the full-boiler trials the vessel's head was laid for the Margate-road, while five of the boilers were cut off to allow of her being tried at her half-boiler power. This ac complished, the frigate's head wan again laid for the Maplin Sands, when two runs were taken over the mile, with the following results :—First run—time, 5 min, 39 sec. 1 speed, 10.619 knots ; revolutions of screw, 38 ; pressure of steam, 251 b ; vacuum, 276. Second run—time, 4 min. 34 sec.; speed, 13.138 knots ; revolutions, 37 ; pressure of steam, 23}1b. ; vacuum, 27i. The mean epeod at half-boiler power wan 11.878 knots per hour, the Achilles thus maintaining her high character when tried under half boiler power. During the time she was on her trial the engines worked with wonderful smoothness, steadiness, and regalarity, Although in a wooden vessel the movement of such enormous engines would have caused the greatest vibration, in the Achilles their action was scarcely percep tible. During the time the frigate was tutning to make her third run over the mile she came into collision with a brig which was lying across her bows, when the frigate's starboard quarter caught the bow of the brig and carried away her bowsprit, besides causing some other damage. The Achilles is steered by the old gun-room tiller, which has been again adopted by the Admiralty in consequence of the absence of the screw-well hitherto found on board our largo screw steamers. This gives an enormous advantage in steering a vessel of the vast size and tonnage of the Achilles, and this was apparent during the trials yesterday, when the vessel answered her helm as sensitively as a cut ter. It is evident, however, that much remains to be done in the mode of steering our largo vessels of war, as yester day it required 16 men to bring the helm over either to port or starboard. Although we continue to construct vessels of the sico of the Achilles and Warrior, yet no improvements appear to have been made to increase their steering powers, the same method being practically in use which was em ployed half a century ago. At the close of the speed trials some experiments were made in turning the circles and half circles with the following results :—The approximate area of the rudder immersed in the water was 136 ft ; the time occupied in getting up the rudder with eight mon at the wheel was, to starboard, 1 min 4.5 sect, to port, 1 min 50 sees; turns of wheel, to starboard, 3}, to port, 31. The time occupied in making the half-circle at full boiler power was to starboard, 3 min 25 secs, to port, 4 min 40 secs; the revolutions of emdnes were 96. The time occupied in mak- ing complete circle at half boiler power, with 15 men at the wheel, was 6 min 15 secs, and the time occupied in getting up the wheel 2 min 30 secs. The diameter of circle was 900 yards, as calculated by the ingenious invention of Mr, Martin, assistant master shipwright, by which the diameter of all circles can be most accurately measured at sea. This diameter is considered a fair one for the size of a vcaaol of the Achilles class. The average temperature during the trial was—On deck, 49 ,dog; in engine-room, forepart, 98 dog; middle part, 107 deg; and aft, 102 deg; forward stoke-hole, forepart, 80 deg, middle 92 deg, and after part 98 deg; after stoke hole, fore part 76 deg, middle 102 deg, and after part 96 deg. By direction of the Admiralty, Mr Gleborne's patent elec tric telegraph has been fitted on board the Achilles, the first vessel to which the invention has been applied, and the instantaneous manner in which the messages wore trans mitted from the bridge to the engine room, and its admirable working, proved the groat value of the invention. At the close of the trials yesterday the Achilles steamed up the Medway and took up her former moorings at Folly Point, Admiral Drummond having left the frigate at the Nero, and embarked on board the Lizsard paddlewheel steamer, which landed him at Shames. MIDDLE CLASS ATLAS OF GENERAL GEOGRAPHY. Longman and Co.—This excellent • atlas contains all the most recent territorial changes and discoveries, and exhibits at a glance, by means of sections, diagrams, &a., the mountains, rivers, and areas of the various countries of the world. It has bean produced under the supervision of W. l‘l'Leoa, Esq., F.R.G.S., and the maps are all en graved in the best manner by E. Weller, also of the Geo graphical Society. Tho middle class atlas was originally designed for the use of candidates preparing for the Oxford Local Examinations, but it has been so enlarged that it is now, as regards price, accuracy, and finish, one of the best atlases ever issued from the press, and coisequently well adapted for general use in collegiate, grammar, and private schools. A Navajo woman, who recently acted as guide to a party of Mexicans in a journey from the Canejo country to Santa Fe, says that in her country gold is so common that the Indians use it to make bullets. We imagine the Navajos draw the long bow aleo,—Botton avertiser.

Amongst the comparatively few Polish exiles now in this country there was noce probably who shared more in the affections of his compatriots in arms than Lieutenant-Colonel Nowosielaki, or was more beloved by all who knew him. his remains were interred on Tuesday afternoon at Highgate Cemetery, and his grave was attended by numbers of his countrymen of all ranks, 611 T inUEI to pay this last sad tribute of respect to his memory. The mourners wero Colonel Oborsli, Captain Kosmian, Messieurs Do Wylde, Prusinowaki, Ostrowski, Raczyneki, Mr. John Robert Taylor, honorary secretary to the National League for the Indepen dence of Poland; and Mr. John Richardson, Com mon Councilman. Also, we observed the follow ing friends of th© deceased :—General Count Za moyski, Major Skulimowski, Messieurs. M. Wali. goreki, and Charles Ruprecht, Delegates of the Na• tional Government of Poland. Major Szulczewski, Major :Giolgiud, Captain Bobczyneki, A Zabieki, Are. The national Polish flag, draped in black crape, preceded the funeral cortege. Tho sr mice was performed according to the Church of Eng. land ritual, when, amidst the most profound silence, A. Zabicki delivered a most impressive oration in the Polish language, expatiating on the virtues of the deceased, and impassionedly depicted the great loss the Poles had sustained in the death of their departed brother. This was followed by an eloquent address from Mr,. Richardson, which ho concluded by reciting the following very beauti ful lines composed by Mrs. Richardson for the occasion : 'Tie pact—thy time of strife and pain, Thy life's ling aptly, And thnu art gone where pain shall cease, And tears aro wiped away, At rest—in peace; we leave thee hero Beneath our English skies, No longer Exile in the land Where thy bravo soul shall rise, Son of that Noble Land for whom Thou wouldet have died to save, Her tyrants cannot reaoh thee here Within thy 'quiet grave. Free tears are shed above thee now; This shall thy requiem be— " Tho Patriot spirit cannot die, And Poland shall be fre e." After another address by a'. Polish exile, in the Polish language, Mr. J. R. Taylor advanced in front of the grave, and drew the attention of those present to the uncertainty of human life, and the joy they should all feel that their departed brother had well performed his mission to this world, and that other Polish patriots would soon rise up to take Lis place. He expressed his deep sorrow teat Mr. Edmond Boales, the President of theNationalLeaßue for the Independence of Poland, was not present to take part in the proceedings, and read the following passage from a letter, apologising for his absence, written by him to Captain Bohn ynski:—" I received the news of Lieut.-Colonel Nowoeielski'e death with unfeigned sorrow. I hon oured him whilst living as one of the noblest minds and purest hearts amongst your patriot band ef Polish emigrants, whose devotion under the moat cruel persecutions, and the most severe trials to their own country and the rights of other nations has bound me with loving loyalty to their cause and to Poland for many, m aw . ,y years. I shall ever cherish his memory with a piou s affee• tion. Pray, express this for me, if necessary-"my heart, if not my person, is with you. M a y Almighty God, in hie all ruling and all directing providence iu Christ Jesus our Saviour, yet realise all the de sires and wishes of our departed friend for the re establishment of Poland, the peace of Europe, and the welfare of mankind." Mr. Taylor:concluded by emphatically expressing his belief t hat the A l mighty was with them, and that Poland must and would be free. The cortege then left the cemetery, End the proceedings terminated. It is said that the debate on the French budget will give rise to an incident to which great interest is attached. An amendment, proposed by M. de Jan* supported by 12 members of all parties in the Chamber, among whom is Id. Jules Fevre, will bring before the Corps Legialatif the history of Leserques, who was executed many years since for the robbery and murder of a traveller on the Lyons road, of which crime he war atterwares proved to be innocent. The object of the amendment is to restore to his descendants a sum of 54,625 f. confiscated by the State, to gether with the interest from the year 1796. The daughter of Leserques, on being refused justice by the Minister of Finance of that day, threw herself into the Seine and watt drowned. LITERATURE, 13.14.

No doubt the matter has been the cause of deep regret to many a fair one, but according to Dr. Harvey there is a remedy, there is a cure withoutinjury to health. Then follow chapters on the treatment of too great em bonpoint and upon the choico of food and drink for the diminishment of fat.

Fruit is forbidden, so likewise is all farinaceous food, file learned author gives his reasons for everything he advances, so that wo may recommend the work to all those suffering from the particular malady of which it treats. Trial of the Iron Frigate Achilles. The first of the of trials of the iron frigate Achilles, in reality the pioneer of the squadron of iroaclads to be con structed solely by the A,:luriralty, and not, like the Warrior, Minotaur, Northumberland, ond others of our iron fleet, by private shipbuilding firms, took pi,7ce at the Maplin Sands, near Chatham, yesterday. Since he:* launch, or rather formal floating out of dock, at Chatham on Dec. 24 last, about 1,000 hands have been constantly employed on her, in order to complete her for sea; but, notwithstanding the unremitting exertions of those employed on her, so o.oor mous is the quantity of work stilt remaining to bo execula that several months must elapse befor.) the public may ex • peat to hear that she is fairly ready to be despatched on her maiden cruise. Since her launch the Achilles has been lying in the harbour at Folly Point, where the depth of water at all times of the tide enables a vessel of her draught to float without any fear of straining. • --, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day, ET ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
